Verse 32:2

تَنْزِیْلُ الْكِتٰبِ لَا رَیْبَ فِیْهِ مِنْ رَّبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ ۟ؕ

Tañzeelul Kitaabi laa- rayba feehi mir Rabbil ʻAalameen.

The revelation of this Book is—beyond doubt—from the Lord of all worlds.

Verse 32:3

اَمْ یَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰىهُ ۚ بَلْ هُوَ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ لِتُنْذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّاۤ اَتٰىهُمْ مِّنْ نَّذِیْرٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَهْتَدُوْنَ ۟

ʹAm yaq̣ooloonaf taraah? Bal huwal Ḥaq̣q̣u mir Rabbika lituñẓira q̣awmam maaa ʹataahum min naẓeerim miñ q̣ablika laʻallahum yahtadoon.

Or do they say, “He has fabricated it!”? No! It is the truth from your Lord in order for you to warn a people to whom no warner has come before you, so they may be ˹rightly˺ guided.

Verse 32:4

اَللّٰهُ الَّذِیْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا فِیْ سِتَّةِ اَیَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰی عَلَی الْعَرْشِ ؕ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ مِنْ وَّلِیٍّ وَّلَا شَفِیْعٍ ؕ اَفَلَا تَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۟

ʹAllaahul laẓee khalaq̣as samaawaati wal-ʹarḍa wa-maa baynahumaa fee sittati ʹAyyaamiñ s̤ummas tawaa ʻalal ʻArsh: maa- lakum miñ doonihee miñw waliyyiñw walaa- shafeeʻ: ʹafalaa tataẓakkaroon?

It is Allah Who has created the heavens and the earth and everything in between in six Days, then established Himself on the Throne. You have no protector or intercessor besides Him. Will you not then be mindful?

Verse 32:5

یُدَبِّرُ الْاَمْرَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ اِلَی الْاَرْضِ ثُمَّ یَعْرُجُ اِلَیْهِ فِیْ یَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهٗۤ اَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّوْنَ ۟

Yudabbirul ʹamra minas samaaaʹi ʹilal ʹarḍi s̤umma yaʻruju ʹilayhi fee yawmiñ kaana miq̣daaruhooo ʹalfa sanatim mimmaa taʻuddoon.

He conducts every affair from the heavens to the earth, then it all ascends to Him on a Day whose length is a thousand years by your counting.

Verse 32:6

ذٰلِكَ عٰلِمُ الْغَیْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ الْعَزِیْزُ الرَّحِیْمُ ۟ۙ

Ẓaalika ʻAalimul g̣aybi washshahaadatil ʻAzeezur Raḥeem;―

That is the Knower of the seen and unseen—the Almighty, Most Merciful,

Verse 32:7

الَّذِیْۤ اَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَیْءٍ خَلَقَهٗ وَبَدَاَ خَلْقَ الْاِنْسَانِ مِنْ طِیْنٍ ۟ۚ

ʹAllaẓeee ʹaḥsana kulla shayʹin khalaq̣ahoo wa-badaʹa khalq̣al ʹiñsaani miñ ṭeen;

Who has perfected everything He created. And He originated the creation of humankind from clay.

Verse 32:8

ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسْلَهٗ مِنْ سُلٰلَةٍ مِّنْ مَّآءٍ مَّهِیْنٍ ۟ۚ

S̤umma jaʻala naslahoo miñ sulaalatim mim maaaʹim maheen:

Then He made his descendants from an extract of a humble fluid,

Verse 32:9

ثُمَّ سَوّٰىهُ وَنَفَخَ فِیْهِ مِنْ رُّوْحِهٖ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْاَبْصَارَ وَالْاَفْـِٕدَةَ ؕ قَلِیْلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُوْنَ ۟

S̤umma sawwaahu wa-nafakha feehi mir Rooḥihee wa-jaʻala lakumus samʻa wal-ʹabṣaara wal-ʹafʹidah: q̣aleelam maa tashkuroon!

then He fashioned them and had a spirit of His Own ˹creation˺ breathed into them. And He gave you hearing, sight, and intellect. ˹Yet˺ you hardly give any thanks.

Verse 32:10

وَقَالُوْۤا ءَاِذَا ضَلَلْنَا فِی الْاَرْضِ ءَاِنَّا لَفِیْ خَلْقٍ جَدِیْدٍ ؕ۬ بَلْ هُمْ بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّهِمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ ۟

Wa-q̣aalooo ʹa-ʹiẓaa ḍalalnaa fil ʹarḍi ʹa-ʹinnaa lafee khalq̣iñ jadeed? Bal hum̃ bi-Liq̣aaaʹi Rabbihim kaafiroon!

˹Still˺ they ask ˹mockingly˺, “When we are disintegrated into the earth, will we really be raised as a new creation?” In fact, they are in denial of the meeting with their Lord.

Verse 32:11

قُلْ یَتَوَفّٰىكُمْ مَّلَكُ الْمَوْتِ الَّذِیْ وُكِّلَ بِكُمْ ثُمَّ اِلٰی رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُوْنَ ۟۠

Q̣ul yatawaffaakum Malakul Mawtil laẓee wukkila bikum s̤umma ʹilaa Rabbikum turjaʻoon.

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Your soul will be taken by the Angel of Death, who is in charge of you. Then to your Lord you will ˹all˺ be returned.”

Verse 32:12

وَلَوْ تَرٰۤی اِذِ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ نَاكِسُوْا رُءُوْسِهِمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ ؕ رَبَّنَاۤ اَبْصَرْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا فَارْجِعْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا اِنَّا مُوْقِنُوْنَ ۟

Wa-law taraaa ʹiẓil mujrimoona naakisoo ruʹoosihim ʻiñda Rabbihim: Rabbanaaa ʹabṣarnaa wa-samiʻnaa farjiʻnaa naʻmal ṣaaliḥan ʹinnaa mooq̣inoon.

If only you could see the wicked hanging their heads ˹in shame˺ before their Lord, ˹crying:˺ “Our Lord! We have now seen and heard, so send us back and we will do good. We truly have sure faith ˹now˺!”

Verse 32:13

وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَاٰتَیْنَا كُلَّ نَفْسٍ هُدٰىهَا وَلٰكِنْ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ مِنِّیْ لَاَمْلَـَٔنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ اَجْمَعِیْنَ ۟

Wa-law shiʹnaa laʹaataynaa kulla nafsin hudaahaa wa-laakin ḥaq̣q̣al Q̣awlu minnee laʹamlaʹanna Jahannama minal jinnati wannaasi ʹajmaʻeen.

Had We willed, We could have easily imposed guidance on every soul. But My Word will come to pass: I will surely fill up Hell with jinn and humans all together.

Verse 32:14

فَذُوْقُوْا بِمَا نَسِیْتُمْ لِقَآءَ یَوْمِكُمْ هٰذَا ۚ اِنَّا نَسِیْنٰكُمْ وَذُوْقُوْا عَذَابَ الْخُلْدِ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟

faẓooq̣oo bimaa naseetum Liq̣aaaʹa Yawmikum haaẓaa. ʹInnaa naseenaakum waẓooq̣oo ʻAẓaabal khuldi bimaa kuñtum taʻmaloon!

So taste ˹the punishment˺ for neglecting the meeting of this Day of yours. We ˹too˺ will certainly neglect you. And taste the torment of eternity for what you used to do!

Verse 32:15

اِنَّمَا یُؤْمِنُ بِاٰیٰتِنَا الَّذِیْنَ اِذَا ذُكِّرُوْا بِهَا خَرُّوْا سُجَّدًا وَّسَبَّحُوْا بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَهُمْ لَا یَسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ ۟

ʹInnamaa yuʹminu biʹAayaatinal laẓeena ʹiẓaa ẓukkiroo bihaa kharroo sabbaḥoo sujjadañwwa bi-Ḥamdi Rabbihim Wahum laa- yastakbiroon.

The only ˹true˺ believers in Our revelation are those who—when it is recited to them—fall into prostration and glorify the praises of their Lord and are not too proud.

Verse 32:16

تَتَجَافٰی جُنُوْبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ یَدْعُوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَّطَمَعًا ؗ وَّمِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ یُنْفِقُوْنَ ۟

Tatajaafaa junoobuhum ʻanil maḍaajiʻi yadʻoona Rabbahum khawfañw waṭamaʻaa: wa-mimmaa razaq̣naahum yuñfiq̣oon.

They abandon their beds, invoking their Lord with hope and fear, and donate from what We have provided for them.

Verse 32:17

فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَّاۤ اُخْفِیَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ قُرَّةِ اَعْیُنٍ ۚ جَزَآءً بِمَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟

Falaa taʻlamu nafsum maaa ʹukhfiya lahum miñ q̣urrati ʹaʻyun: jazaaaʹam bimaa kaanoo yaʻmaloon.

No soul can imagine what delights are kept in store for them as a reward for what they used to do.

Verse 32:18

اَفَمَنْ كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا كَمَنْ كَانَ فَاسِقًا ؔؕ لَا یَسْتَوٗنَ ۟

ʹAfamañ kaana muʹminañ kamañ kaana faasiq̣aa? Laa- yastawoon.

Is the one who is a believer equal ˹before Allah˺ to the one who is rebellious? They are not equal!

Verse 32:19

اَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَلَهُمْ جَنّٰتُ الْمَاْوٰی ؗ نُزُلًا بِمَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟

ʹAmmal laẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-ʻamiluṣ ṣaaliḥaati falahum Jannaatul maʹwaa, nuzulam bimaa kaanoo yaʻmaloon.

As for those who believe and do good, they will have the Gardens of ˹Eternal˺ Residence—as an accommodation for what they used to do.

Verse 32:20

وَاَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ فَسَقُوْا فَمَاْوٰىهُمُ النَّارُ ؕ كُلَّمَاۤ اَرَادُوْۤا اَنْ یَّخْرُجُوْا مِنْهَاۤ اُعِیْدُوْا فِیْهَا وَقِیْلَ لَهُمْ ذُوْقُوْا عَذَابَ النَّارِ الَّذِیْ كُنْتُمْ بِهٖ تُكَذِّبُوْنَ ۟

Wa-ʹammal laẓeena fasaq̣oo famaʹwaahumun Naar: kullamaaa ʹaraadooo ʹañy yakhrujoo minhaaa ʹuʻeedoo feehaa wa-q̣eela lahum ẓooq̣oo ʻAẓaaban Naaril laẓee kuñtum̃ bihee tukaẓẓiboon.

But as for those who are rebellious, the Fire will be their home. Whenever they try to escape from it, they will be forced back into it, and will be told, “Taste the Fire’s torment, which you used to deny.”

Verse 32:21

وَلَنُذِیْقَنَّهُمْ مِّنَ الْعَذَابِ الْاَدْنٰی دُوْنَ الْعَذَابِ الْاَكْبَرِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَرْجِعُوْنَ ۟

Wa-lanuẓeeq̣an-nahum minal ʻAẓaabil ʹadnaa doonal ʻAẓaabil ʹakbari laʻallahum yarjiʻoon.

We will certainly make them taste some of the minor torment ˹in this life˺ before the major torment ˹of the Hereafter˺, so perhaps they will return ˹to the Right Path˺.

Verse 32:22

وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذُكِّرَ بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّهٖ ثُمَّ اَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا ؕ اِنَّا مِنَ الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ مُنْتَقِمُوْنَ ۟۠

Wa-man ʹaz̤̣lamu mimmañ ẓukkira biʹAayaati Rabbihee s̤umma ʹaʻraḍa ʻanhaa? ʹInnaa minal mujrimeena muñtaq̣imoon.

And who does more wrong than the one who is reminded of Allah’s revelations then turns away from them? We will surely inflict punishment upon the wicked.

Verse 32:23

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا مُوْسَی الْكِتٰبَ فَلَا تَكُنْ فِیْ مِرْیَةٍ مِّنْ لِّقَآىِٕهٖ وَجَعَلْنٰهُ هُدًی لِّبَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ ۟ۚ

Wa-laq̣ad ʹaataynaa Moosal Kitaaba falaa takuñ fee miryatim mil liq̣aaaʹihee wa-jaʻalnaahu hudal li-Baneee ʹIsraaaʹeel.

Indeed, We gave the Scripture to Moses—so let there be no doubt ˹O Prophet˺ that you ˹too˺ are receiving revelations—and We made it a guide for the Children of Israel.

Verse 32:24

وَجَعَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ اَىِٕمَّةً یَّهْدُوْنَ بِاَمْرِنَا لَمَّا صَبَرُوْا ؕ۫ وَكَانُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا یُوْقِنُوْنَ ۟

Wa-jaʻalnaa minḥum ʹAʹimmatañy yahdoona biʹAmrinaa lammaa ṣabaroo; wa-kaanoo biʹAayaatinaa yooq̣inoon.

We raised from among them leaders, guiding by Our command, when they patiently endured and firmly believed in Our signs.

Verse 32:25

اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ یَفْصِلُ بَیْنَهُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ فِیْمَا كَانُوْا فِیْهِ یَخْتَلِفُوْنَ ۟

ʹInna Rabbaka Huwa yafṣilu baynahum Yawmal Q̣iyaamati feemaa kaanoo feehi yakhtalifoon.

Indeed, your Lord will decide between them on the Day of Judgment regarding their differences.

Verse 32:26

اَوَلَمْ یَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِّنَ الْقُرُوْنِ یَمْشُوْنَ فِیْ مَسٰكِنِهِمْ ؕ اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ ؕ اَفَلَا یَسْمَعُوْنَ ۟

ʹAwalam yahdi lahum kam ʹahlaknaa miñ q̣ablihim minal q̣urooni yamshoona fee masaakinihim? ʹInna fee ẓaalika laʹAayaat: ʹafalaa yasmaʻoon?

Is it not yet clear to them how many peoples We destroyed before them, whose ruins they still pass by? Surely in this are signs. Will they not then listen?

Verse 32:27

اَوَلَمْ یَرَوْا اَنَّا نَسُوْقُ الْمَآءَ اِلَی الْاَرْضِ الْجُرُزِ فَنُخْرِجُ بِهٖ زَرْعًا تَاْكُلُ مِنْهُ اَنْعَامُهُمْ وَاَنْفُسُهُمْ ؕ اَفَلَا یُبْصِرُوْنَ ۟

ʹAwalam yaraw ʹannaa nasooq̣ul maaaʹa ʹilal ʹarḍil juruzi fanukhriju bihee zarʻañ taʹkulu minhu ʹanʻaamuhum wa-ʹañfusuhum? ʹAfalaa yubṣiroon?

Do they not see how We drive rain to parched land, producing ˹various˺ crops from which they and their cattle eat? Will they not then see?

Verse 32:28

وَیَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰی هٰذَا الْفَتْحُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ ۟

Wa-yaq̣ooloona mataa haaẓal Fatḥu ʹiñ kuñtum ṣaadiq̣een?

They ask ˹mockingly˺, “When is this ˹Day of final˺ Decision, if what you say is true?”

Verse 32:29

قُلْ یَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ لَا یَنْفَعُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِیْمَانُهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ یُنْظَرُوْنَ ۟

Q̣ul Yawmal Fatḥi laa- yañfaʻul laẓeena kafarooo ʹeemaanuhum wa-laa hum yuñz̤̣aroon.

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “On the Day of Decision it will not benefit the disbelievers to believe then, nor will they be delayed ˹from punishment˺.”

Verse 32:30

فَاَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَانْتَظِرْ اِنَّهُمْ مُّنْتَظِرُوْنَ ۟۠

Faʹaʻriḍ ʻanhum wañtaz̤̣ir ʹinnahum muñtaz̤̣iroon.

So turn away from them, and wait! They too are waiting.
